Robots can jump…
Technology changes rapidly, sometimes its a full-time gig just keeping up with it. Our military seems to keep a solid grip on all the latest advancements, if it wasn’t for military investment this blog wouldn’t exist. (thanks DARPA!)
Hence our ability to fight a large percentage of our wars remotely. There’s a ton of debate within our military of just how high that percentage will ultimately become. But, I’m a believer in that we are only bounded by the limits of our imagination when it comes to the defense of our country.
Have a peek at this remote controlled car. Can you imagine how this could be used to help our military? Picture it being very quiet…padded wheels…with a camera, a mic or even an explosive. Remote controlled vehicles were originally conceived by Nikola Tesla in the 1800’s….but they continue to evolve….DAILY!

wow, this is really cool! Lots of applications for military and intelligence work, to be sure. But I can also picture swarms of delivery-bots leaping across the urban landscape to bring me tacos and magazines.
